The Fordham Report 2006: How Well Are States Educating Our Neediest Children?

This report appraises each state according to thirty indicators across three major categories: student achievement for low-income, African-American, and Hispanic students; achievement trends for these same groups over the last 10-15 years; and the state's track record in implementing bold education reform. The findings for each state, or all states overall can be viewed. Conclusions discuss why some states out perform others, the future of education reform, and what states need to do to improve achievement.
